Rare Quintuplets Born At 27 Weeks At Texas Hospital

Natural quints or in vitro fertilization? I don't consider multiples miracles if they have been tampered with.

Enough of the multi births..

If the shots caused multiple eggs, then it was manipulated by man, and should be no surprise that all were fertilized. I have twins that were genetic – it runs in the family. That was a miracle, since no one else since my great-great aunts, had multiples but me. What was even more amazing was that their father was an identical twin, which really was a miracle. Either way, if there are multiple eggs, there is a greater chance of multiple births. This woman would never have had more than one if medical science didn't intervene.

How sad the babies have to suffer and live in incubators for a while because their parents most likely went the artificial route..

With this economy I HOPE THEY ARE WEALTHY! I know people that are stopping with one because they can't afford more.

It doesn't say anything about them doing in vitro or taking fertility drugs. But a woman can release at least two eggs at a time–especially when she gets to be over 40 because that's when your body is thinking about menopause and will often start trying to get rid of the eggs faster…

What is wrong with you people? These precious babies ARE ABSOLUTELY miracles from God who created them, whether she took shots to boost fertility or in-vitro or whatever, it does NOT matter! God's hand was still the hand that created each of those 5 babies and allowed that many eggs to fertilize and each of those 5 is a miracle and super precious PERIOD! And to the people saying that's too many etc, the ONLY one who should be allowed to decide that is the Lord who creates and blesses us with those precious babies, God has a purpose and destiny for each and every baby He forms in a mother's womb and NOONE but the Lord Jesus Christ has the right to want to or actually take one of those babies lives away.

All babies are mericals, whats wrong with you! Most of these women don't take fertility drugs to have multipals. They have a hard time concieving! NOT SO BLESSED AS YOU! YOU ARE SO SPECIAL! I also have identical twin Granddaughters and there are NO twins in our family. That in my eyes was a merical but not as much as 5 beautiful babies born when mom had a hard time concieving. THAT is a merical. Get off your HIGH HORSE.

I agree, the babies are miracles in themselves, don't get me wrong. The means to get there, especially since she already had a child, wasn't necessary. I assume they are wealthy, since they could afford the shots, and can take care of them. Your grand daughters are indeed miracles, because identical twins are rare and doctors have no idea how they form. Having fraternal is hereditary, and I was the "lucky" one in a huge family to actually have them since my great aunts had multiple triplets. I am thankful I only had two at one time, because I could never have afforded more. I already had two girls before I had them. I feel for the parents, though, because that is a lot of waking and feeding infants.

Nobody wants to take them away, especially God. The babies are precious gifts, but never would have happened if man didn't interfere. Multiples are blessings, yes, but why would she go for shots when it was already proven she could get pregnant on her own by the fact she already had a child? Women who give birth to more than 3 babies at a time (and sometimes even then) tend to rely on the government for their support and care, and that is where the problem comes in. When parents can't work because they have that many babies, or have to pay for caretakers, who pays to support them?

It actually says she received shots to release the eggs. She already had a child, so they knew she could get pregnant again. They should have done it the normal way, like all the rest of us.
